Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Physical Therapy care with Dr. Netsanet PT:

What is a Physical Therapist?

Dr. Netsanet PT is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and improving your quality of life. She uses hands-on care, education, and targeted exercises to prevent injuries, manage pain, and restore function after an illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Netsanet PT will be a comprehensive assessment. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a physical evaluation of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This evaluation is the starting point for creating a completely personalized prevention and recovery plan.

Can physical therapy help me avoid surgery?

Yes, in many cases. Physical therapy can be as effective as surgery for conditions like chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step to reduce pain and improve function, potentially preventing the need for more invasive procedures.

I'm having joint replacement surgery. When should I start PT?

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles before surgery, speeding recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is critical, starting soon after surgery, to restore range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome from your new joint. Dr. Netsanet PT will work with you to create a personalized plan.

What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a skilled technique where a physical therapist inserts a thin needle into a muscle "trigger point" to release tension and relieve pain. This differs from acupuncture, as its basis is in Western anatomy and physiology, not traditional Chinese medicine. It's a tool to help accelerate your recovery.

I feel dizzy and off-balance. Can a physical therapist help?

Yes, a physical therapist, like Dr. Netsanet PT, can help. Many are specially trained in vestibular rehabilitation and can treat common causes of dizziness, such as BPPV, with specific head maneuvers. They can also improve balance through targeted exercises, preventing falls.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Netsanet PT's home exercise program is a crucial part of your recovery. It's a personalized set of exercises designed to help you continue progress between sessions and prevent the problem from returning after therapy is complete.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Netsanet PT, focuses on the muscles supporting the pelvic organs. It's a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, benefiting both men and women.
